Chelsea are close to agreeing their second biggest Premier League shirt sponsorship ever with Turkish Airlines. A £25million-a-year deal is expected to be finalised by Christmas.
The negotiations with the airline heavyweights were first revealed by Sports Agenda last September.
The money will be a significant increase from what they were getting from Samsung to have their name on Chelsea shirts and would propel the club above Liverpool and Arsenal in the PL shirt sponsorship table.
Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich wants his club to be as dominant on football’s commercial side as they are on the pitch.
The west London club are deep in talks with Turkish Airlines before former Liverpool chief executive Christian Purslow was brought in to revamp the commercial operation.
